PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, NOVEMBER 20, 1981
PAGE 6
Except for the messages from Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Faulkner, all services
were conducted in the Dutch language with simultaneous translation in
English. This was also the first time that the completed and official Dutch
language hymnal was being used.
Among the several other activities at this Feast were the presentation of
the "Quest for Peace" program, the Young Ambassadors, an excellent two-hour
talent show put together by members of the Dutch-speaking congregation, a
very successful dinner dance and a family-style game afternoon at which old
style Dutch and Flemish folk games were played by parents and children com
plete with open-air market, donut baking, hot dogs, etc.
The offerings for both the first and last day of the Feast resulted in a 24%
increase compared to the Feast one year ago.
This has been a tremendous Feast here in The Netherlands, with many rich
spiritual and physical blessings.
Y.O.U. Manual Appreciated
Pastors are now writing in expressing their appreciation for the new Y.O.U.
Manual which was sent to all church pastors and which was approved by Mr.
Herbert Armstrong.
The following enthusiastic comments were received
recently:
The new Y.O.U. Manual is FANTASTIC! We are very eager to implement the
policies, teach the principles and experience the positive results
which will result. The manual was well worth the wait!

Appreciated receiving the new Y.O.U. Manual! Plan to make some Y.O.U.
changes to conform fully to the new manual.

Appreciation for the Ministerial Refresher Program
Dear Mr. Armstrong:
My wife Kathy and I wish to thank you for the refresher program we were
privileged to attend in September. We learned a great deal. I took
nearly 100 pages of notes during those 18 days in Pasadena. Now I am
going through these notes, seeing where I can put into practice some
things and pass on to the churches other things by way of teaching and
instructions.
We greatly appreciate the leadership God is providing through you and
the team under you. It was very encouraging to hear you four times
( two studies plus one sermon plus one personal talk to all of us) .
That was almost like our college days in Bricket wood in the late
1960's when it seemed that you addressed us more often than any other
minister.
The brethren here
ing through you.
direct you and to
are very encouraged by the leadership God is provid
And we pray that God will continue to guide and
help you finish the Work He has set before you.
Frank and Kathy Nelte
